Overview

Seesaw - Quirky Poems Poetry Collection By Ken Tomaro & Nolcha Fox Born from a shared love of dark humor and playful wordplay, Seesaw is a delightful balancing act of wit, whimsy, and poetic mischief. Ken Tomaro and Nolcha Fox first crossed creative paths in the Thursday Night Poets group, where their mutual knack for quirky, offbeat humor sparked an unexpected collaboration. What began as playful exchanges-plucking words and phrases from each other's poems to craft something new-quickly evolved into a collection that swings between the light and the dark, the serious and the absurd. Seesaw is poetry at its most spontaneous and fun, a reminder that even in life's heavier moments, there's always room to laugh, twist the narrative, and dance on the edge of meaning. Dive into this collection and let the playful push and pull of their voices keep you balanced-right in the middle of the seesaw.

Seesaw is a daring collaboration of well-crafted stream of consciousness poems. Some of these poems are gross and lovely at the same time. Some question the ultimate meaning of life, providing unforgettable answers, ""God is way bigger than my ass"", ""life IS chaos"" and ""Screw it, just give up!' It is apparent from the first poem that Fox and Tomaro are two poets very familiar with each other and comfortable playing to each other's skills. In this fun and very enjoyable collection words do not fail them. Tim Moder, Author of The angel of Coincidence An Engaging Anthology Celebrating the Themes of Life, Love, and the Absurdities of Existence Seesaw is a delightful collection of poems by Ken Tomaro and Nolcha Fox celebrating a quirky sense of dark humour. A unique interplay of stanzas reflects the authors distinct voices inviting readers to the plateau of chaos and beauty of human experience. Munmun ""Sam"" Samanta, Author of Yellow Chrysanthemum I recall the seesaw, that teeter-totter on the playground. Seated on each end of the balanced plank, kids could swing up and down by taking turns pushing their feet on the ground. Likewise, In Seesaw, Ken Tomaro and Nolcha Fox alternate with their stanzas in a playful, rhythmic manner in this poetic collaboration, in which the stanza transitions provide balancing hinges. These two skilled poets swing with wacky abandon. The poems are quirky conversations about food obsessions, apathy, gravity, cats in hurricane debris, body image, ghosts in the garden, God's screw-ups, alienation, innertubes, sun-blinding chaos, The Grim Reaper getting a makeover, and other themes balancing humor with existential struggle. As Ken Tomaro says, ""Chaos IS the meaning of life."" So get ready for the quirky banter. To quote Nolcha Fox, ""Joy is a con artist."" These poems will trick you into smiling.

Author Information

Never until recently did he consider writing poetry. Not when he slid from the womb. Not when he felt the first tingle of teen hormones. Not after he got married, divorced, moved to another city, lost a couple jobs, moved back. It just sort of happened. Ken Tomaro, self-proclaimed poet laureate of the Cleveland sewer system, has been writing poetry for a few short years. He's not famous, rich, recognized or read in schools across America. He has been published in several literary journals, done a couple podcasts, started the YouTube channel, Screaming Down the Poetic Highway, and that's pretty damn impressive.
